The AF-101 and the Sony F3 at 2 different focal lengths.<\/p>\n<p>The Sony F3 has a native Super 35 chip in it (23.6 x 13.3mm) and the Panasonic AF101 has a micro four thirds chip in it (18.8 x10.6mm whilst recording 16&#215;9 video) so the equivalent field of view on the smaller chip is going to be more telephoto by it&#8217;s nature, meaning the angle of view is narrower. On a 50mm lens the F3 will see 26.6 degrees\u00a0whilst the AF101 will see 21.3 degrees. <a href=\"http:\/\/philipbloom.net2010\/12\/27\/lensfov\/\">Again, please read my previous post to understand more<\/a> and for the excellent chart on there by Abel Cine for working this all out for you and showing you a comparison between so many different cameras.<\/p>\n<p>This is not a scientific test. Although I didn&#8217;t use the same lenses on my AF101 the same focal lengths were used. On the F3 I used the 50mm T2 and the 85mm T2 and on the Panasonic I used the awesome Olympus Zuiko 35-100 F2 zoom lens at 50mm and 85mm at F2. It doesn&#8217;t matter that one lens is made for M43 and the other is PL 35mm. <a href=\"http:\/\/philipbloom.net2010\/12\/27\/lensfov\/\">A lens is a lens is a lens, again read the previous post to understand more.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately I have to give the F3 back today and I haven&#8217;t had a chance to do any other side by side tests or any more in depth shooting with the camera. Having it over Christmas was limiting as my family came first. <a href=\"http:\/\/philipbloom.net2010\/12\/26\/stardust\/\">But I did manage to shoot a little short with my sister which is here if you have not seen it.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Star Wars figures were presents from my friends Cristina Valdivieso and Jon Connor. They were around 1.4 metres from the end of the lens.<\/p>\n<p>Both images are really nice, looking at the native files. For sure there is more compression in the AVCHD, i expected that as it&#8217;s 24mb\/s as opposed to the F3 35mb\/s. There is a big price difference between the two cameras. Which is best? The F3 is S35, industry standard sensor size, PL lens mount and capable of very high end recording. The Af-101 is a damn sight cheaper, has a bit more DOF due to the small sensor meaning you need to get wider lenses to compensate but on the flipside you have nice telephoto lenses easier. The F3 has a better recording medium in the SxS cards albeit more expensive, it&#8217;s feels better made and I think has a slightly better looking image but that is always subjective, is it 3 times the price better? That&#8217;s for you to decide! Oh and both the AF101 and F3 have features which better the other in certain areas. It&#8217;s tough. If the F3 had at least 50mb\/s and 4:2:2 in camera it would almost be a no brainer but as it stands it&#8217;s handicapped and way more expensive than the AF101 which is such a shame as it&#8217;s bloody gorgeous camera with wonderful images. Neither camera as they stand are acceptable by the high end HD broadcasters for full HD acquisition. You can pimp them up with a Nanoflash or something similar to make it work but that is not ideal.<\/p>\n<p>I am sad to see the F3 go, I would love to have shot on it more and I certainly don&#8217;t have \u00a313K to spare right now, especially having just bought the AF101 which was a lot bloody cheaper. I know it&#8217; cheaper in the US but the warranty issues are a pain and even then it&#8217;s still a lot of cash. It&#8217;s also big, well bigger than the AF101 and I am so in love with the small form factor of DSLRs&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Please do not use this video to judge the difference between the images. Different lenses were used. Picture profiles don&#8217;t match. It&#8217;s purely done rough and ready as a field of view comparison. I have funky lighting in my kitchen and the lounge which explains the flicker and colour shift. I just needed to get this done before I went to bed!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.philipbloom.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/35mm-digital-sensors-chart_final_1200.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"gal[12263]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-12282 aligncenter lazyload\" title=\"35mm-digital-sensors-chart_final_1200\" data-src=\"http:\/\/staging.philipbloom.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/35mm-digital-sensors-chart_final_1200-670x938.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"670\" height=\"938\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/35mm-digital-sensors-chart_final_1200-670x938.jpg 670w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/35mm-digital-sensors-chart_final_1200-221x310.jpg 221w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/35mm-digital-sensors-chart_final_1200.jpg 857w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 670px) 100vw, 670px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 670px;
